Registered Dietitian Joins Group

We now have a registered dietitian on staff. Keeping it in the family, Nina can answer any questions you may have regarding your general as well as your oral nutritional needs.

She also provides access to a line of supplements and vitamins that are regulated by the same types of standards used for prescription drugs (most supplements and vitamins do their own regulating, and there is no way of knowing if what's on the label is actually in the bottle).
To order these simply go to her Pure Caps site:

Nina DiBona-Pauk: Registered Dietitian & Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist








It is my firm belief that every individual should have a dietitian they can consult on a regular basis. We all go to doctors yearly for disease screenings. We see our hair-dressers monthly to improve our appearance, and our dentists bi-annually for cavity prevention. It is logical then that we see a dietitian regularly, not only for weight management and diet advice, but also for preventative measures against heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer (to name a few). By making an appointment with an R.D. you will not only take a giant step towards bettering the way you will look and feel, but towards increasing your quality of life and reducing your future medical bills.

I am a New Hampshire native, who has always had a special passion for athletics (alpine ski racing in particular), nutrition, and wellness. I received my bachelors degree in psychology from Brown University, where I was awarded the All American Award in alpine skiing. After graduating, I continued my education at Simmons College where I completed the didactic program in dietetics. I then went on to complete an 11-month dietetic internship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA, where I gained extensive practical knowledge in weight loss counseling and management of different disease states. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, spinning, yoga, reading, waterskiing, and downhill skiing.

Our New 3D Imaging Scanner

We are please to be able to provide 3D dental imaging technology. Our cone beam scanner allows us (with a minimal amount of radiation) to obtain detailed 3D images for the placement of implants, the study of TMJ, and other pathologies which are only visible using this technology. At 31 microsieverts our state of the are scanner uses 10 times less radiation than traditional CAT scans.
